Welcome from Pa.

Don't forget , you can go to any of the Physician Assistant , PA clinics , and request a Lyme disease blood test. Regular Dr. not needed. Get a blood test , save yourself from catastrophe. Ticks embedded for a couple days , might require a month of daily antibiotics to wipe the disease...

Billy......I'm the husband Dr. in my family. They call me Dr. Quack. I have a friend , appeared healthy , but had a couple weeks of mild gut pain distress. He is a healthy strong x-farm boy type that has never been sick. My retired RN Wife , (nurse ratchet) , advised him to get a blood...

Hey Howard.......My favorite caliber was the .62. But , at age 70 something , the recoil of 90 gr.ffg got to my sick shoulders. So , for a deer caliber , I went back to a .50 w/a mild 80 gr.fffg in a 1 turn in 62 " twist Colerain barrel. Also , I use a .40 cal. due to the wt. of the long...

Welcome from Pa.

In ome of the old manuscripts I've read , it's noted that American Indians applied bear tallow on their skin to foil bug attacks. Dunno....I never tried that.

Relic shooter.......In 'bout 1973 , When I was new to m/l shooting/hunting , I put together a .75 cal. Brown Bess kit , and was dieing to hunt something w/it. First day of early squirrel season I rode to a bench on a high Mtn. behind my house where the sun would hit first. I had the...

Wayne.....I wish you well. I'm old , and injured from doing stuff I should have done in moderation. The gun I shoot most these days is a .40 cal. long rifle made from rusty old parts found in ashes of shed fire. You take it easy friend , and again , wish you well.

Just looking at the bore , I can almost feel the pain of recoil. OUCH! No doubt a three double header brandy per shot , caliber.

I'll tell you about the most stupid , dumbest , university field tick study ever heard about. Since I live in Central Pa. , you'll have to guess which university performed it. The studywent like this.....1st.Stake off a 6 ft. square area in a woods. Count the number of live ticks in the...

I sewed a PC of deer antler on the outside of the pouch flap , then a loop of leather thong under the bottom of the pouch out of the way , when not slipped over the deer antler to hold the pouch flap securely down. Keep it simple.

First time I got lime disease , The tick was in my hair behind my ear. W/in a week , my jaw quit working and I had to become a ventriloquist to converse w/ the Dr. . He put me on antibiotics for 30 days and the problem went away. Didn't want to experience that BS again , so try to be...

SDSmith.......Yup , the only difference from yours to mine , is the color. Mine are light green. ...........................To add to the last two posts about ticks on deer killed. I have hung them up in a place w/a concrete floor , head down. Came back the next morning , and the floor is...

Bud........Another caviot about ticks. In the early 2000's , there were some research papers written on tick behaviors. One study claimed ticks were drawn to the brown color like Carhart coveralls and jackets. Stands to reason , because for years , my hunting buddy wore his work Carharts...

In the early 1970's , there was a British black powder solvent called Young's . It was mixed with water and turned a whitish brown color , and worked great. It smelled like American WW2 gun cleaner called Cosmoline. Since the two , Young's and Cosmoline smelled and seemed the same , I mixed...

Yrs. ago , I was miles back in the Pa. woods. I came up on a tiny table with ticks seated around it. They were doing shots of DEET , and bragging about how many humans they wanted to bite. Permethrin is the best tick defence. If you can't find any other source , we used to buy pure...

A friend brought me a new .58 cal. plains rifle with the worst crown I've ever seen on a production rifle. There was no way the rifle could have been loaded w/a patched r/b and expect any accuracy. The bore at the muzzle had a .060 " half moon of metal , at the edge of the bore where the crown...
